Winning,
Neil

Neil! Excellent. I am glad your project came together I'm not really excited about Christmas. I've had a lot to do recently. I think once I get all this stuff out the way I'll be free to enjoy it. the decorations are up though! How about yourself?

You'll be pleased to know I've tagged a thread in the mod forum with "sexual tension round 2" now. It caused confusion...

Hey Paul! I don't really know. I guess it depends on your requirements and the amount of money you're willing to spend on a brand. There's a lot of software not available of Apple machines obviously. They're generally high quality products however so I don't think you'd regret your purchase even if could buy a cheaper Windows device with equivalent specs instead.

You could aways go for a Linux install to have maximal control over not very much

Dear Niall,

Yeah I miss the mod section. Although with thesis stuff this year, I wouldn't be on it much at all. Good work with the tag though!

I'm also not excited about christmas, for the same reason. My thesis is due in 10 days. I'll get shit faced on brandy and port once it's done, and fall asleep in/under the tree. Seems like a legit way to celebrate christmas, right?

I miss the old mods in general. I sometimes look at the old mod forum to reflect on it You know you're the last person to post in them so there will be an eternal

there!

It's weird reading through it. It's funny because all the things everyone is complaining at the new team about are things Blee told us to do over a year ago! (maybe I shouldn't say this out the mod forum but no one is reading this anyway xD)

I don't think that's legit, I think it's mandatory! And you'd be doing a disservice to the most popular and probably most offensive of all Irish stereotypes if you didn't get completely wasted.

[Neil.]

We had some good ideas in those days that weren't implemented. I'd love to have another crack at it, but maybe not till may, when i'm all done. I spent most of my time deleting spam hahaha!

Dear Niall,

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Also, I didn't realize Neil couldn't still see the mod section. I thought he'd have some very useful opinions and advice to give out to us. Like...

Can the other ex-cons mods still see the mod section?

Yes, they have very when they go and there hasn't that many when there have been because there can be surplus when the forward to go there is illegitimate when they can have some. It's always there can have none for that. Congratulations.

Yeah aha, spam deletion was the main part of it and now we very rarely every have to do that. Mod time is spent actually moderating! A lot of the ideas we had back then are still in consideration, reincorporated into future plans. there's stuff in the works that make things all nice and stuff /vague.

Hawkward Such questions are, er, best left in the Dear Kev forum...

D'oh i've just been pointed to this, sorry Neil, it's come out a lot worse than the reality is. We asked Cath and Gemsy to stick around because of their many years of experience and wisdom. Then we ended up deciding to ask Olly to contribute to since he's so involved in main site. Wasn't meant to be a slant on you.

[Neil.]

oh kevy! I didn't take it that way anyway. Sure I got on well with everyone, even those times when I called Gem Gemsy etc. She was cool about it, even after the 4th or 5th time it happens. As you guys well know, if I can help out, I'm only too happy to lend a hand.

That being said, I do miss the threads like Best of the Mailbox. Not sure how visible thats meant to be, so melete it if needs be.

edit:
haha, this might start a rumour like "KEV AND ALL THE MODS HATE NEIL!" just for some controversy.

Sorry for putting you in an awkward position there Kev!

I'm pretty sure it's already a sub-rumour from the "ALL THE NEW MODS ARE EVIL DICTATORS" rumour.

That thread actually doesn't exist any more...and sadly there has been little cause to make a new one thus far! If you send an email in broken English asking for Muse to play a gig in your cousin's meth lab for charity with a theory about aliens and Jesus you'll have a good chance though.

[Neil.]

one of my favourite things in the mod section was one such infraction given by kev. Some trolololol joined up, and posted a link on a KnT thread of mine. Not only was it a rick roll, but every time you highlighted the title of the window, it would shift about (a js on the page i think). So kev infracted him for something like 50 points, and then it read something like this:

le sigh. take me back team!

[Niall]

I'm gonna look that one up brb

I could only find...

"Infraction: posting a link that fucks users browsers
Points: 5"

[Neil.]

thats the one!

didn't you give some spam a 99 point infraction at one point?
